2. The History of Resonance Therapy

(Talk given by Dr. Marion Hoensbroech at the 18th Colloquium held by the Regional Government of Lower Austria on "Resonance therapy: A chance for sick forests?", Mautern, April 22, 1994)

2.1. Introduction

As an introduction to our colloquium on resonance therapy I would like to give you a brief overview of the development of resonance therapy and our experience with this technique to date.

The development of resonance therapy was initially triggered by the catastrophic environmental damage, especially increasing forest die-back, that was brought to the world's attention in the early seventies. You no doubt remember the photos of dead forests on the upper slopes of the Ore Mountains and the Giant Mountains, the dire warnings of the imminent extinction of fir trees and the declining vitality of various other types of tree.

At that time, the founder of the Institute for Resonance Therapy, Irene Lutz, practised alternative medicine in Frankfurt. She had heard of methods used in Britain and America to treat large areas of agricultural land without using chemicals. This method was known as "radionics" and was indeed most unusual: it relied on an aerial photograph of the area, which was placed on a special appliance and positioned in a specific manner to establish a resonance with the area to be treated. The information required for therapy was then fed to this photograph.

This was a type of teletherapy which exploited the phenomenon of resonance between the photograph and the field it represented. The information was not transmitted directly to the field by some form of irradiation or by any similar technique; it was fed exclusively to the photograph. The field responded with a quantifiable change.

This did not surprise Irene Lutz because she had come across similar phenomena in the course of her medical career and had used teletherapy with many patients. She felt this technique could be applied on a large scale to woods and forests and that, as in the human organism, it would break down blockages and trigger self-organisation. Her extensive experience of natural therapy convinced her that the method was effective and that we should test and develop it for application to woods and forests.

However, since her time was fully taken up with her medical work, it fell to my lot to look into the history of radionics and acquire the necessary equipment.
